Horses and Farriery (1810)
John Wilkes was a notable early 19th century illustrator and publisher who specialized in depicting horses and their care. His 1810 work "Horses Farriery" is a striking example of his ability to capture the anatomy and nature of these majestic animals. The illustrations in this book are not only artistically pleasing, but also of practical use to veterinarians and horse owners of the time. Wilkes' precise drawings and detailed descriptions provide insight into the horse care and hoof trimming techniques of the time.
Interesting fact: John Wilkes was not only a talented illustrator, but also a passionate horse lover. It is said that he often spent hours observing horses in the wild to better understand their movements and behavior. This dedication to his craft and passion for horses is reflected in the accuracy and vibrancy of his illustrations. Another interesting detail is that Wilkes lived at a time when industrialization was beginning to transform traditional agriculture, making his works valuable documents of a changing world.

We believe that art has the power to inspire the mind, tell stories and transform spaces.
That's why we put our hearts into every step of the printing process to ensure that every work we produce meets the highest artistic standards.
printing process
Our fine art giclée printers use 12 different ink tanks and produce museum-quality art prints. Thanks to specially pigmented inks, significantly more color nuances can be displayed than with conventional printing processes and other providers.

We use extra-heavy (400g/m2) premium canvas made from 100% cotton. The high grammage and texture of the canvas ensures a particularly high-quality and almost three-dimensional appearance.
Environmentally friendly
We only use original and high-quality pigment ink which contains real pigment particles. This is UV-resistant, solvent-free, vegan and environmentally friendly.
UV & moisture resistant
Thanks to the UV resistance of our pigment inks, the prints do not fade or discolor and retain their color brilliance for up to 100 years.
